Music
Original Unsigned Talent coming out of Hull, UK. Some of the finest bands and artists in the UK can be found in the forgotten city of Hull in East Yorkshire, England. This compilation playlist represents just a small proportion of this talent.
Over 40,000 people have entered The Sesh in the last four years, to witness this abundance of musical treasure. Genres don't matter, the music does. Go search some of my top friends through their myspace links.

The last time LAVELLION played The Sesh, they brought the house down with their blend of 'cock funk rock' - well here's round two. Bring it on ! Plus we welcome hotly tipped, MOUNTAIN GOAT FRENZY and shiny new guns, We DON'T DANCE TO LOVE SONGS.
Free Transport to the official aftershow party at
THE GRAPEVINE.
On the PLAYLIST : the 'unusual' selection of local demos alongside a few rare treats.
FREE ENTRY + FREE TRANSPORT TO THE GRAPEVINE
The Grapevine at The Attic insists you attend what should be a fine aftershow party with beats and treats a plenty courtesy of Sir Patrick Tobin of LPOE (How good is his band ?) in the 67 Lounge upstairs and yours truly with Seven Inch Steve (he ain't no funky midget !) in the main room. Meeting and greeting you at the door, will be the one and only Detective Sergeant Martin Hardcastle of the legendary Fun Police.
.. And if that ain't enough .. how about next week ... how's this for a line up ?
Hull's finest funk bunch, SOMEONE & THE SOMETHINGS, appearing for the last time for a while before relocating to Leeds alongside our favourite outta town ensemble, KID ID from Leeds who are just simply ace and the very impressive JOHN COPLEY BAND.
Oh yeah, while I'm here .......... we've got the small matter of this billing confirmed for the following week ... two headline bands (You might of heard of them !) both on a mission to put 'ull on the map and with two brand new singles to promote.
Plus in support, Digsy's brilliant 59 Violets from across the river. A band that deserves your respect.
The Sesh is a FREE original Live music night held every Tuesday at The Linnet & Lark on Princes Ave in Hull.
Three bands appear most weeks and its an half decent night out. Some of the line ups are very special and others will suprise you......It's LIVE MUSIC and ITS FREE plus The Sesh offers FREE TRANSPORT down to The GRAPEVINE CLUB NIGHT afterwards AT THE ATTIC in the city centre.
The ethos of The Sesh night itself, is to entertain by providing a platform for the incredible talent that lies within the city of Hull and surrounding areas. The Sesh embraces, showcases and promotes local music. It also welcomes guests from afar on an occasional basis. There is no door tax and therefore everyone benefits, as the night can boast crowds of 200+ most weeks. Mak, the host and organiser of the night, plays local demos and produces visuals for the five screens throughout the venue. He also plays new releases, current faves and old gems and every now and again, features Guest DJ's.
The Sesh is not genre orientated but weighs heavy on the alternative. Many might say it's an indie night but Mak would disagree. It is much more than that. If The Sesh is supported then local music, venues, promoters and the City itself will be. It encourages because it believes.
Alongside Mak is Digsy, frontman of local faves, 59 Violets who helps book bands and organises PA and soundchecks with the legendary 'lumberjack', Lee.
Photography on the night is provided by Darren Rogers, who is responsible for alot of the photography on this site and Lucy Clark from Hullvibe.
The Sesh started in October 2003 and over 250 local bands/artists have so far played at it's venue. The night is currently booked up to 3/4 months in advance at any given time. Any unsigned band/artist from the area wanting to play at The Sesh should contact us through Myspace and by posting a demo to FAO : Mak at The Linnet 30 -32 Princes Ave, Hull HU5 3QA. (or you can drop one off on any Tuesday or Sunday night)
The Sesh has a good relationship with BBC's Raw Talent team (Check out their Website : www.bbc.co.uk/rawtalent) and has been featured on Steve Lamacq's Radio One show. It also promotes the local music scene alongside Thisisull.com, Hullvibe.co.uk, Ten Foot City magazine, Sandman, Hull Daily Mail and many other great venues and promoters in their quest to reveal some of the country's hidden gems that are tucked away in this long forgotten and neglected City of Hull.
